    As many teachers search for new strategies and interventions to address the lack of fluency within their reading programs, Repeated Reading (RR) appears to be a topic of curiosity. RR is an evident based strategy designed to increase reading fluency and comprehension through the development of automatic word processing and contextualized linguistic effect (Winter, 2007). Similar to the text features on a cell phone, automatic word processing is the ability to detect and comprehend a word effortlessly as the viewer glares to the next set of letters. This skill is key in increasing fluency as the reader spends little time decoding the words before them.…

    Each and every person conceptualizes reading in a different way. In their article “Rhetorical Reading Strategies and the Construction of Meaning” Christina Haas and Linda Flower examine the different ways readers, mainly students, read a text and break it down for post read analysis. They believe that every student finds different meaning in every text they read as they show when they state, “There is a growing consensus in our field that reading should be thought of as a constructive rather than as a receptive process: that “meaning” does not exist in a text but in readers and the representations they build” (167). This shows that they do not share the same ideas about reading that many K-12 institutions throughout the united states do considering…

    “Rhetorical Reading Strategies and the Construction of Meaning” from Haas & Flowers wants us to understand the true meaning of reading and writing, how we need to see reading as a “constructive rather than a receptive process” (Haas & Flower 167). Targeting students and teachers as well, Haas and Flower managed to develop an article that explains and shows us some misconception of our daily writing life that should be known by everybody. They make questions towards students asking if they really gather all the information that is available in the articles, and if they are available to print them on their writings. Some of the students use a strategy called “rhetorical reading” to get the most out of the texts but only experienced readers managed to use this skill as supposed to. Freshman readers and experienced readers are mentioned and evaluated with the same article, comparing their results, Haas & Flower observed that experienced readers could get more juice out of the readings due to the experience and the previous knowledge in the area.…

    Response to Intervention is an approach for differentiating instruction to help students who struggle in learning, in general, and get them to grade level. It is separated into three Tiers to separate student’s abilities so that the teacher is capable of accommodating her student's needs. Tier 1 focuses on developing the students reading abilities and preventing learning problems. Tier 2 focuses on struggling readers and extending the instruction to help the students reach grade level as soon as possible. Tier 3 is referred to as more intense instruction, and depending on the child’s improvement, it may result in the diagnosis of a reading disability.…

    After reviewing the reading rockets website, I found that the 5 components of beginning English reading are phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary development, reading fluency, including oral reading skills and reading comprehension strategies. Beth Antunez, author of English Language Learners and the Five Essential Components of Reading Instruction, says using these 5 components teachers can really reach their students who struggle with English reading development. The first component of the 5 is phonemic awareness. Phonemic awareness is the ability to identify and manipulate phonemes in spoken words says author Beth Antunez. One activity that I can incorporate in my classroom to teach phonemic awareness is by using word family charts.…

    Child Reading Development

    Reading is a complex development process which integrates varying skills, some of which are acquired innately while others must be taught. For some children, the process of learning to read is natural and happens instinctively. For others learning to read needs to be explicit and intentional. Children progress at their individual pace often based on their unique experiences. These experiences are analogous to the socio-economic status and level of parental education, number of siblings, whether both parents work or does one parent stay home with the child and/or what type of preschool does the child attend (Zakariya, 2015).…
